The oldest Driver once again is Davey “STUD” Hamilton and his Sparring partner “Gentleman John” (Andretti) reportedly has the most starts of the current field with 10.

And as I mentioned earlier today, the I500 grid has swelled to 35 Drivers with Tomas “Rockem-Sockem” Scheckter’s announcement, as part of “Team Englands,” Err Dryer & Reinbold Racing four car (Monty) stable for the Month ‘O May, with ‘BIA, a.k.a Ana Beatriz potentially being the Team’s fourth entry and fifth Femme Fatale on the grid. Just don’t know who’s in the No. 23 & No. 25 yet.
